Lace up for a meaningful and scenic run or walk at the annual Jordan DeMay 5k/10k, taking place on Sunday, October 4, 2026, at 10:00 AM in beautiful Marquette, Michigan. This impactful event offers both 5K and 10K distances, with options for both in-person and virtual participation, catering to all fitness levels and preferences. Starting from the YMCA/Lakeview parking lot at 1420 Pine Street, the course follows a picturesque out-and-back route along Marquette's scenic bike path, heading north towards the iconic Presque Isle Park. While 5K participants will turn back at the campground, 10K runners will continue their journey along Lakeshore Boulevard, offering breathtaking views before looping back past the historic ore dock.
